Vintage Porsche

Over the weekend the husband and I were part of a small Audi/Porsche lawn show at the Saratoga Springs Car Museum. It was miserably hot in the afternoon and it rained just after he finished cleaning the travel grime off the car. Figures. :rolleyes

I've been to a zillion lawn shows and it's difficult to get anything interesting. Who wants to see car after car surrounded by white legged gawkers and owners with detailing rags? Ugh. So I tried for some different shots. Not sure if I succeeded?

356 coupe - if James Bond were German, this would be his weekend ride -


Spyder (electric conversion, why god, why???)


early 911 kitted out for racing -


Anyway, let me know your thoughts. I've got tons more of the Woodie collection inside the museum, but haven't processed them yet. Stay tuned.

Nice shots. I really like the reflections in #2 & #3. The red porsche in the chrome mirror of the spyder and the white cab. in the burgandy paint of the porsche. The only refelction I ever catch is my own, no one wants to see that.

If the motor is strong enough and the batteries large enough its a GREAT idea. Electric motors have VERY WIDE TORQUE BANDS. Oh, and cool pics.

yeah, I know electric is the latest PC thing to do, but without that original sound, it might as well not exist.

Where did I mention anything about PC???? I said the performance, given the proper motor and battery capacity, can't be beat. Witness the Tesla Roadster.

You didn't, but it is and I still think it's a shame to do to such a lovely sounding car. That's all.

As long as you don't think I'm a PC tree-hugger we're ok.

No worries!
